Chapter 534 - : 534 : Protector Of The Felisara!

Chapter 534: Chapter : 534 : Protector Of The Felisara!

Aiden’s spectral form rocketed through the street of Albinos like a living arrow of pure will, every heartbeat of his detached soul fueling an acceleration that shattered the very limits of what his physical body could ever achieve. The buildings blurred into streaks of emerald and gold behind him, the wind roared past his ethereal ears in a deafening symphony of freedom. He laughed out loud in pure, unrestrained joy, the sound echoing through his spectral form as he shouted into the void that only Lunara could hear.

"I am so fucking happy right now!"

Lunara’s familiar, sultry voice immediately filled his mind, warm and teasing like velvet wrapped around molten honey.

---

"I know, Master. It was the right choice to create the Possibilities skill using The Creator."

---

"Yeah!" Aiden replied, voice low and dark with exhilaration as he plunged through a narrow tunnel, carriage whipping past his soul at speeds that defied every law of momentum. "And this is so much fun. Teleportation has nothing on these."

He felt it then—a faint, desperate pulse of energy trying to tug at his consciousness, like a small hand gently shaking his shoulder from outside a deep, luxurious dream. It was warm, familiar, and tinged with a hint of worry that made his spectral lips twitch upward in amusement.

"What was that?" he asked Lunara.

Lunara purred, her tone dripping with playful mischief.

---

"Lusha is trying to wake you up," "Maybe... something is going on there?"

---

Aiden nodded once, the motion sending his soul surging forward even faster through the forest’s heart. The speed was intoxicating, a rush of pure power that made his detached form hum with delight. Yet a small, practical thought cut through the haze of joy.

"So this is fast and all... But... like... is there any faster way to return to my body?"

Lunara’s giggle vibrated through his thoughts like silk.

---

"Of course. Just say... Release."

---

Aiden’s smirk widened. "Release."

For a single, heart-stopping moment, nothing happened. Then the pull began—gentle at first, then savage, like being yanked upward from the bottom of a dreamless ocean. His spectral body stretched and compressed in impossible ways, soul fibers screaming in ecstasy as the distance to his physical form collapsed in a blur of white light and ringing silence.

"Yahoo!"

His scream of pure thrill burst through the forest as he tore through the great walls of Albion and into the dense, ancient trees beyond. The Forest of No Return swallowed him whole in an instant, roots and branches parting before his will like obedient servants. In a heartbeat, he was bursting out of the treeline and diving straight into the Felisara Village.

His physical body jerked forward as if struck by lightning. Blue eyes snapped open, sharp and alert, every sense flooding back into focus with a rush that left him dizzy for half a second. Warm, familiar arms wrapped around his left arm with desperate strength. Lusha’s soft, heavy body pressed against his side, her cat ears twitching wildly, tail lashing behind her. Tali’s small hand clutched his legs, her innocent eyes wide with relief and worry as she looked toward him.

"Daddy, you’re back."

Aiden smiled toward her.

He then followed Lusha’s gaze and saw the gathered crowd of bunny villagers prostrating themselves before the towering stone statue of Goddess Felisara. Their voices rose in a trembling chorus, raw and desperate.

"Goddesses, please, bless us. Protect us from those wolves."

The other women—Ayani, Ayako, Mimi, Nessa, Eclipsa and Selisha—stood nearby, faces pale with nervous uncertainty. They didn’t know what to do, as they stood their nervously.

Aiden’s dark smirk slid across his face like a blade. He understood exactly what had happened. The barrier had faded, the wolves were pressing terror into their mind, and the villagers—loyal to the old goddess— after seeing Lusha, had fallen back into desperate prayer, thinking she was the goddess. *Perfect.*

He turned to Lusha, voice low and intimate as he leaned in close enough for only her to hear, lips brushing the sensitive edge of one cat ear.

"Lusha, I guess I have a pretty good idea as to what is happening here. Just tell them everything I am telling you, alright?"

Lusha looked up at him, a cute blush blooming across her cheeks, her grip on his arm tightening almost painfully. Her voice trembled with excitement and nerves.

"Okay... Master, I trust you."

Aiden smiled, warm and reassuring, then whispered the rest into her ear. When he finished, Lusha’s eyes widened slightly, her tail swishing furiously. She glanced at him again, grip iron-tight.

"Do you think I will be able to say it?"

Aiden met her eyes, letting her see every ounce of faith and trust he held for her.

"I know you can."

She took a deep breath, nodded once, and straightened her spine. "Okay, I am ready."

"I am gonna reward you later, kitten," he teased, voice dripping with dark promise.

Lusha’s ears twitched violently, her tail lashing in pure, excited delight.

She turned to the prostrate villagers, her voice steadying with every word she spoke.

"People of the Felisara Village..."

The crowd froze, heads still pressed to the ground, but their bunny ears perked. Lusha’s voice trembled for only a moment before she found her strength.

She looked over the gathered bunny men and women—their faces filled with fear, their bodies still pressed against the ground before the statue of the goddess who had protected their ancestors for generations.

Then she glanced at Aiden. He was standing calmly beside her. Not a trace of fear could be found in his eyes.

Lusha took a deep breath. "I am not the great goddess who protected this village, but I know why you are praying."

The villagers slowly raised their heads.

"You are afraid of the Uldrien wolves."

A few of them flinched at the word.

"You are afraid because the barrier that Goddess Felisara created to protect this village has finally broken. You are afraid because the forest that was once kept away from your homes can now reach you."

Her grip around Aiden’s arm tightened. "And you are forced to sacrifice."

The crowd fell silent.

Lusha’s expression hardened with quiet resolve. "You have endured it because you believed you had no other choice."

She paused. "But you were wrong."

A murmur passed through the crowd.

Lusha slowly turned toward the statue of Goddess Felisara. "For generations, you have looked toward this goddess for protection." Her eyes softened. "And perhaps... she protected you for as long as she could."

Then Lusha turned back toward the villagers. "But today, someone else has answered your prayers."

The entire village became silent. Lusha looked straight at Aiden, her voice growing stronger with every word.

"My husband."

A few villagers exchanged shocked glances.

Lusha’s cheeks became slightly red, but she didn’t look away from him.

"My husband has heard what has happened to this village. He knows about the wolves. He knows about the tribute they demand from you. And he knows that you have been living in fear."

Her voice grew stronger. "And he has decided that it ends today."

Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dark spark of pride burning in them. Lusha raised her chin higher.

"From this day forward, my husband will protect Felisara Village."

The villagers stared at her in stunned silence.

"He will not allow those wolves to take another bunny person from you."

A gasp escaped from somewhere within the crowd.

"You will not have to hide in your homes every week, wondering whose family will lose someone next."

Lusha’s tail swayed behind her with pride.

"You will not have to kneel before monsters and beg them for another week of your life."

She tightened her grip on Aiden’s arm. "Because you now have someone standing between you and them." Her voice became calm, steady, and utterly certain. "Someone stronger than the wolves."

The villagers slowly looked toward Aiden. "And my husband has made another decision." Lusha paused deliberately, letting the words settle. "He will take Felisara Village under his protection."

A murmur spread through the crowd. "He will become the one who rules this village."

Some villagers looked shocked. Others looked uncertain.

But Lusha continued before fear could take root again.

"This does not mean he has come to take away your homes."

"He has not come to enslave you."

"He has not come to demand that you worship him."

"He has come because he has decided that if this village is going to survive..."

She smiled faintly, warm and reassuring. "...then it will survive under his protection."

Lusha looked toward the statue once more.

"For generations, Goddess Felisara stood between this village and the monsters of the forest."

She then looked toward Aiden. "Now that her barrier has fallen..." Lusha’s smile became proud, radiant with love.

"...my husband will stand where that barrier once stood."

The words echoed through the silent village like a vow carved in stone.

"He will be your shield."

"He will be your sword."

"And if those wolves come here again..."

Her eyes sharpened with fierce determination.

"...they will have to face him first."

Aiden’s smirk grew slightly, dark and satisfied.

Lusha then looked toward the women standing beside her—the women who were now bound to Aiden as his wives and family. She gestured gracefully toward herself.

"This is not merely a promise from a stranger."

"I am his wife."

Then toward the others.

"And so are they."

The women beside her smiled with open pride.

"We have chosen him, and he has chosen us."

Lusha looked over the entire village, her voice softening into something tender and final.

"And now, he has chosen you."

She lifted her chin, ears standing tall and proud.

"So raise your heads."

One by one, the bunny villagers slowly lifted themselves from the ground, faces filled with a mixture of awe, fear, and dawning hope.

"You prayed to Goddess Felisara because you wanted someone to protect you."

Lusha smiled, warm and genuine.

"Your prayer has been answered."

She stepped slightly closer to Aiden, her body brushing against his in silent solidarity.

"So from this day onward..."

Her ears stood proudly atop her head.

"...you are no longer a village waiting to be sacrificed."

"You are the people of Felisara Village."

"And you are under the protection of my husband..."

She looked up at Aiden with absolute trust shining in her eyes.

"...Aiden Nightshade."

For several long, powerful seconds, nobody spoke. The silence stretched, heavy with emotion, until one brave bunny man slowly lowered his head in a deep, reverent bow.

"Then..."

His voice trembled with raw emotion.

"...does that mean we are finally free?"

Lusha smiled, but before she could answer, Aiden finally spoke. His voice rolled out low and commanding, filled with the unshakeable authority of a man who had just decided the fate of an entire village.

"Yes. I will protect every one of you."

He added, voice steady and strong, "If you don’t believe, let me demonstrate a portion of my power."

*Lunara, release a portion of my energy, so that they can be intimidated and know who I am. Just don’t release enough to kill them,* he asked internally.

Lunara purred in his head.

"Your wish is my command, Master."

[3% ENERGY IS BEING RELEASED]

The air around them suddenly turned extremely heavy. The pressure built like a living thing, crushing down from the sky and pressing into the ground. The stones and pebbles on the path began to shake and rattle violently. Everyone looked around and toward Aiden with wide eyes filled with pure terror. The pressure increased, layer after layer, until it became almost unbearable. Every villager—men, women, and children—prostrated themselves again, pressing their foreheads hard against the ground in instinctive submission.

Aiden’s wives reacted instantly. Lusha leaned proudly into his side, her grip on his arm never loosening, a bright, satisfied smile on her face. Tali immediately hugged his leg for support, her small voice trembling with awe. "Daddy..."

Nessa and Mimi asked Ayani in unison, voices thick with excitement.

"Ayani, he is this strong...?"

Ayani didn’t know what to say, her voice caught in her throat. The air around them grew colder, sending visible shivers through her body as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself.

A mischievous smile tugged at Ayako’s lips as she murmured to herself, voice husky with hidden desire.

"Fuck... I am getting so wet..."

Eclipsa wrapped her arms under her own chest, wings twitching behind her as raw arousal flooded her senses. A desperate, needy expression crossed her face, her breath coming in heavy pants.

"Ahh!~ Master... He is amazing. I want to serve him for my whole life."

Selisha giggled softly, equally proud and aroused, her body trembling with the sheer potency of the energy now flooding the air.

The pressure finally stopped. Aiden’s playful voice echoed through the village, calm and teasing.

"Okay, that was too much. Now, now, guys, please, raise your heads. I am here to protect you all, remember?"

The bunny persons, still reluctant, slowly raised their heads. Then, as one, their voices rose in a single, heartfelt chorus.

"All hail Lord Aiden! All hail Lord Aiden, our new protector and ruler!"

One by one, everyone joined in, the sound echoing off the stone houses and the statue of the old goddess. The words rang with genuine faith and relief.

His wives came toward him with happy, proud steps.

Eclipsa told him proudly, voice thick with emotion.

"Dark Lord, that was amazing."

Selisha added, voice soft and reverent.

"Beyond anything, you’re the strongest..."

Nessa and Mimi said in unison, voices filled with excitement.

"Damn... That was so hot. And you said that is just a portion of your power?"

Aiden asked teasingly, smirk deepening.

"Will you believe me if I said, it was just 3%?"

Both of their eyes sparkled with pure delight.

"Wait... Really...? So cool..."

Tali spoke up excitedly, small voice bright and full of adoration.

"Daddy is the strongest."

Ayako said seductively, licking her lips.

"Husband, you made me so wet."

Ayani murmured to herself, voice trembling with overwhelming emotion, tears pricking her eyes.

"This is crazy... He is crazy... But..." She looked up toward him with teary eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you... Thank you for being here for us... Thanking for choosing us. For choosing me."

Aiden cupped her cheek with his free hand, leaned in, and kissed her in front of everyone. Her tear-streaked eyes widened, then fluttered shut as she melted completely into the kiss, body softening against his.

Someone from within the crowd shouted, voice angry and desperate.

"No!"

"You lucky bastard."

"Give back our dear Ayani."

Eclipsa immediately bared her fangs, wings flaring.

"You stupid bunnies wanna die?"

The men who had spoken immediately dropped to their knees, begging for forgiveness in a frantic chorus.

The women around them giggled, Mimi saying happily.

"Told ya... She is famous."

Aiden pulled back from the kiss, voice gentle yet commanding.

"Ayani... I believe you can take care of here."

Ayani nodded breathlessly, still dazed.

Aiden then wrapped his arms around Lusha and Tali again, smiling down at the girl.

"Baby, where is the bath?"

Tali replied excitedly, small voice bubbling with joy.

"Near Grandma’s house."

Aiden smirked as he looked toward the villagers.

"Later..."

Immediately, he vanished in a swirl of spectral light, teleporting straight to the door of the Village Chief’s house.
